    Might wanna tell us what cam you are running, what chain etc etc.

    You will need a timing cover gasket of course, but you might need other stuff done aswell depending on which chain you run.

    lim, upper plenum, water pump, timing comer, and valve covers and coolant elbows. i think that should cover it all, and they will cost more then 85 bucks for all of them.

    i got lim gaskets for 40, the upper plenum 11, and valve cover gaskets ran me 55 ish. so add a little more for the other gaskets maybe another 20.

    Does Intense's cam install kit contain all of these? it literally has no description so I don't know.

    If you leave the water pump on the front cover you don't have to replace that gasket.

    found it. INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSEâ„¢ Cam Installation Kit (L67/L32)

    only comes with lim, and upper plenum, and timing cover gasket. for $85.xx

    i got my ac delco lim for 42 shipped,( rock auto) the upper plenum cost 11. ( auto zone felpro) elbows locally are 6 bucks, that timing cover gasket im sure you can pick up locally for 10 bucks or a bit more. so 65 ish with a tube of red rtv. saves a few bucks.

    the valve cover gaskets, if they are not crushed, you can clean them up real good and the head top,, and use a light smear of rtv on the gasket, and re use them. i used new gaskets to fix a leak, and it leaked right out of the box on me, so i took it off and rtv it, and the leak stopped.

    I just had the VC gaskets replaced about a week ago.
